   We had a great experience at Alcove for dinner. There were two of us and we shared the chips w/onion dip, the whole chicken with polenta and mushrooms and the bibb salad. The food was fantastic and plenty for the two of us. The service was friendly and attentive. I've been there a few times now and it's been excellent every time.

   My son and I come for dinner before every Celtics game. We love the atmosphere, service and food. The new menu is outstanding. My son is now a steak tartare fanatic. Thank you. We will see you at our next game!

   We attended the recent wine cellar Saturday and it was wonderful. The chef prepared small bites to go with each wine and made mine all gluten free. The owner Tom is very knowledgeable about wine without being pretentious. In fact, I laughed a lot during the tasting as it was a fun crew overall!

   Granted we were there for dinner before a Celtics game, the service was incredibly slow. We were there for 2 hours and one of our dishes never came out. Good was pretty good but our experience overall was not good.

   We recently visited Alcove, a modern American restaurant on Lovejoy Wharf in Boston’s West End, to celebrate our anniversary. With its warm ambiance, stunning views of the Zakim Bridge, and convenient location near TD Garden, it was the perfect setting for a special evening. The staff made our night even more memorable by surprising us with complimentary Prosecco—a thoughtful touch that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. One of the things we loved about Alcove was the menu’s smaller plate options, which made it easy to try several dishes and share them around the table. We started with the Grilled Octopus, which was tender, smoky, and perfectly cooked, though we wished the portion was a bit larger for the price. The Prosciutto Bites were an instant favorite, offering a fun twist on mozzarella sticks, with salty prosciutto wrapped around gooey, melty cheese. The Confit Duck Leg was a standout, cooked to perfection with rich, fall-off-the-bone tenderness, while the Alcove Wings were flavorful and easy to enjoy. The Alcove Burger was fresh and hearty, complemented by some of the best crispy, golden fries we’ve had in a while. Another highlight was the Shrimp + Pork Dumplings, served in a French onion broth that was so rich and savory it elevated the entire dish. The cocktails were just as impressive. We enjoyed a perfectly balanced Cosmopolitan, and the Autopilot—a creative mix of bourbon, pumpkin jam, and egg white—was smooth, seasonal, and delightful. While a few dishes, like the octopus, felt slightly overpriced, the opportunity to sample and share so many expertly crafted plates made the overall experience well worth it. Alcove’s inviting atmosphere, thoughtful service, and high-quality food and drinks make it an excellent choice for any occasion. Whether you’re heading to TD Garden or simply looking for a memorable dining experience with a view, Alcove is a spot we highly recommend.
